JESS: assertion - exception out of memory

2009-09-29 Thread Lucia Masola
Hi, I'm working in a java applications that has Jess embedded. I had some
trouble in the assertions of facts. I'm asserting the facts from java and i
received the exception out of memory. I realized that the problem is in
the archive clp because when i tried to do the same assertion with another
clp i didn't encounter the problem. I also tried to take out some rules from
the clp in order to check which rule were having the problem and i found
them, but i don't know how to solve it (the trouble rules are callerMethods,
calleeMethods ). if anyone can help me with this issue i will appreciate it

Hi,

I don't know why your code isn't in the message that went out to the mailing 
list, but I saw it when I approved the message for the list. Basically you're 
seeing exactly the issue discussed in the FAQ here:

http://www.jessrules.com/jess/FAQ.shtml#Q12

You've got a couple of rules with patterns like

(Method ?m1)
(Method ?m2)
(Call (something ?m1) (something-else ?m2))
(some-other-test ?m1 ?m2)

These patterns first construct partial matches for all pairs of Method facts -- 
i.e., n^2 pairs, so this uses memory proportional to the square of the number 
of facts. If you just rearrange it like

(Call (something ?m1) (something-else ?m2))
(Method ?m1)
(Method ?m2)
(some-other-test ?m1 ?m2)

then only the relevant pairs will be formed -- presumably a much smaller 
number. And if you can do something like

(Call (something ?m1) (something-else ?m2))
(some-other-test ?m1 ?m2)
(Method ?m1)
(Method ?m2)
 
then the memory usage will be smaller still.
